The Course to Assertiveness

Attended a course on Assertiveness. It said, it is a skill that can be aqquired. It is something which can be gained.
haan haan....i dont want to comment on that....
there are three types of behaviour....
1) Passive
2) Aggressive
3) Assertive

Passive is not reactive.
Aggressive is over reactive.
and Assertive is our ideal match....

oh come on...i dont know y prompted me to attend this course....but it was a nice one to make me realize where i fall and that is somewhere between passiveness and assertiveness.....

sometimes a lot passive just out of sheer laziness or sometimes because of a sense to avert conflicts......

Sometimes assertive to meet my "selfish" needs...sometimes just because, there was no other alternative.....

Have a similar kinda of courses lined up for me in next few days....will post accordingly then...

Peace and Love

Problem Solving - Must for CAT

I am lost these days....m i too much interested in giving CAT , MBA is do or die for me, honestly speaking i dont hv a concrete answer fr these questions....but fr the sake of 10000 odd ruppes which i hv invested in buying forms for the so called esteemed institutes...i m going to give it a shot... so my post will revolve around problem solving...sequential problem solving to be more precise.....

i bumped into this while trying to relax a bit on net... not my thoughts at all but definitely had some influence on me for a while....

we are constantly trying to make some sense of our world and the way people treat each other.....
sequential Problem Solving is for those who want to reassure themselves that their thinking is logically correct rather than emotionally or impulsively misguided.... it provides step by step procedures for applying computer-like decision making to daily living....many ordinary problems involve not only physical, concrete parts but also interpersonal elements, thus problem solving involves both the physical world and the interpersonal world.

the underlying principle, throughout Sequential Problem Solving, is an obligation to help each other as citizens of a world community, and an acknowledgement that our real enemy is often ourselves. Our common problem is understanding ourselves in order to be a friend to others. Sequential Problem Solving provides us with a way of checking for the kindness factor in problem solving, with the goal of helping others and being a good citizen in the world community.

And that is the altruistic side of solving problems for you.....

Peace and Love
